Stevens Electric and Pump Service of Monmouth, Maine, has agreed to pay $17,000 in fines assessed by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration related to the deaths of two of the company’s workers a month ago. According to a report in the Portland News, the company settled the case after the violations were amended to indicate the company had provided safety equipment to the workers, but had not taken steps to ensure the workers were using the safety equipment.
